Of course there are plausible explanations, it happened to cross my mind. Like I tend to assume if the scum plan is to stall claims they'd act in concert with that.I didn't like this because it seemed like a needless elaboration from you based on gamestate reasoning. There's a lot of ways this can be easily explained, including Dofla having a role sheet that is mostly passive, or him just taking the safe route of a vanilla town without much strategic forethought.
What's more relevant is if this is something you can see Dofla doing, drawing a relation to whatever Ekko/Watson is doing is meh especially before they've flipped
